A week on Anna Maria Island

We're back from our week on Anna Maria Island in Florida. It wasn't warm, but the kids swam every minute they possibly could anyway, and somehow I got sunburnt.

Spent a lot of time just relaxing, exploring Sarasota's various attractions, watching the Winter Olympics, watching the children swimming, and occasionally venturing into the hot tub.

Will post more pictures when less tired.

Got back to the house to find beautifully refinished floorboards, and a lot of cleaning that had been done by Veronica. I occasionally find patches of dust and realise how bad it must have looked when she arrived. Don't think I'll do any more floor refinishing in a while.

Back to work today. Knackered...

Nashua NH

We're on holiday! We've made it as far as Nashua NH, where we're staying in a Hampton Inn that Mike helped build. It's very nice and it has free internet, so it gets my vote.

We're due to leave here at 6am - which coincidentally is when the snow is due to start. We're supposed to take off for Florida at 8.15am, and luckily we've booked direct flights there.

DC, which had 30 inches of snow at the weekend, is due to get 16 inches of snow tomorrow, and NY has already told all schools tomorrow to close because of the blizzards they're due to get.

And we have had no snow in weeks. It's bizarre.

Anyway. Hopefully see you in Florida tomorrow evening.
